[pakgrid] Re: Caste system and ICT

Assalam-o-Alaikum,

The significance of matter is a relative term and everyone has his/her own interest and motivation. I may also differ with Dr. Ahsan on his study, having difference of opinion is good, but we should not be judgemental by declaring anyone's work insignificant. We have the problem that we like to snubb, perhaps we believe this is the way to show our superiority of knowledge.

Snubbing kills innovative ideas and at times innovation starts from insignificant matters!
